Middle East Organic & Natural Products Expo 2018

Middle East Organic and Natural Expo Doubles In Size in 2018

The Middle East Organic and Natural Expo held annually in Dubai is the only focused event in the region within that sector and has served as a platform for organic products to get launched in to the Middle Eastern market for 15 years now. Its 2017 edition was so successful that the expo is doubling in size in 2018.

The growth in the organic market in the Middle East has been exponential during the past couple of years. The consumers of natural goods are unquenchable in their demand; so much so that the past four years have shown a 60% increase in the shelf space devoted to them in retail outlets across the UAE and the Middle East, but a recent survey indicates that 55% of shoppers voted that there were not enough healthy options available in stores.

Following that surge in popularity, several corporate giants have taken to private labelling products extensively over the last two years. Dubai’s powerful presence as a trade and re-export hub will only be further strengthened by the completion of Dubai Food Park, the Middle East’s first wholesale trade city. As awareness about the organic lifestyle is increasing, we can expect that the trend is only going forward.

How to develop your business in the Middle East

The Middle East Organic & Natural Product Expo Dubai, partnering with IFOAM, is being held from 18th-20th of November 2018 at Dubai International Convention & Exhibition Centre, Dubai, United Arab Emirates. The event provides international companies from varying organic sectors instant access to a dynamic and expanding market.

The new features offer exhibitors verified buyer leads from the region well before the event to connect with them, and yearlong access to ‘Ogranic247’- Middle East’s only online b2b portal for organic and natural products. It also allows exhibitors and buyers to connect on its online to offline platform ‘O2O Connect’ and list their products through the year. Being an end to end trade platform, the event offers its exhibitors ‘EZExport’; its logistics; a logistics service that will provide international exhibitors with a one-stop-shop solution right from getting their products certified locally to clearing customs, freight and warehousing.
